What type of earrings look good with short hair?

Wearing earrings with short hair is nowhere near as tricky as many people think. Choose either large, statement earrings, or minimalist earrings such as studs. You want to draw all the attention to your face. Earrings with diamonds are particularly suited to this. If you have a somewhat longer face, it is best to go for large creole or hoop earrings. For a round face, you should choose long pendant earrings.

Regardless of the length of your hair, you should always go for earrings that match your hair colour. For instance, yellow gold earrings go beautifully with light brown hair. Platinum, white gold or even yellow gold versions suit black hair perfectly. Do you have short, grey hair? Then ruby or sapphire earrings are the best option.

Are there any earrings I should avoid wearing with short hairstyles?

There are no rules you should wear whatever makes you smile. However, if you have short hair, we recommend avoiding earrings that are not in proportion to your hairstyle. For instance, consider avoiding earrings that reach down to your shoulders, or earrings that are too large and bulky.

It is also a good idea to ensure your earring style matches other jewellery pieces you are wearing. With a striking necklace, it's better to wear a subtle pair of earrings such as diamond studs or minimalist earrings. This maintains the balance. If you wear glasses, then it’s best to go for minimalist earrings, as long or large earrings can disrupt the overall balance of the look.

Can I wear long earrings with short hair?

You can wear long earrings under a short haircut such as Jennifer Lawrence - BAUNAT
In the past, it was an unwritten rule that you couldn't wear long earrings with short hair. That is outdated today. Of course, you can wear long pendant earrings with a sassy short bob. Just take a look at this photo of actress Jennifer Lawrence. She knows all too well how she can highlight her cool short hair by wearing a special pair of earrings. Which earrings suit you depends more on the shape of your face than on your hairstyle.

Which earrings suit my face shape?

Round faces are wider at the cheekbones and narrow at the forehead and jawline. Earrings can be relatively long on a person with a round face, and even drop down as far as the chin.

The distance the jewellery drops will visually refine and balance the face. Select long, slender earrings with a square or rectangular pendant to make the most of the contrast between a round face and the geometric shapes of the earrings.

“These days there seems to be hardly any connection between hairstyle and choice of earrings.”
Do you have a somewhat angular face? You can break up the angular lines using elegant shapes. Choose shorter earrings, such as diamond studs or short, round pendant earrings.
“Choose earrings whose shape is "inverted" compared to the shape of your face.”

Which precious metal should I choose for my earrings?

The choice of precious metal also depends on your personal taste and style. Earrings, with or without diamonds, are available in all kinds of precious metals. Are you a follower of fashion? Then go for earrings in white gold or platinum. They will complement any outfit perfectly. Rose gold earrings are also highly sought after these days, thanks to the revival of retro jewellery. Do you prefer the classic style? Then yellow gold earrings are for you.

How do I coordinate my makeup and earrings?

Fashionistas know how important it is to match your jewellery to your outfit. But your makeup is also a key part of the puzzle. Yellow gold earrings look best combined with golden bronze eyeshadow. White gold earrings go better with a light and cool eyeshadow, a shade darker than the colour of your eyes. Are your eyes green? Pair your rose gold earrings with a copper eyeshadow to really shine.
And what about your lips? If you like bright red lipstick, long pendant earrings will attract attention to your jawline and mouth. If you prefer subtle makeup and lipstick, then go for more modest earrings, such as delicate studs.
